Definitions

• the invention relates to a pallet made of metal for the transport of loads.
• Pallets for the transport of loads are mainly made of wood. Apart from the fact that wood is a raw material that is far too valuable for this purpose and causes considerable problems in recycling, such pallets are subject to very high wear.
• Pallets have therefore already been produced from sheet steel. These pallets have a longer lifespan than the wooden pallets; however, they have the disadvantage that they require a considerable volume during the return transport and thus cause correspondingly high costs. In addition, the known pallets are only suitable for loads up to a certain size and up to a certain weight.
• the invention has for its object to provide a pallet for the transport of loads, which is suitable for loads of any size and weight and which can be stacked so that it requires very little space.
• the pallet is formed by a metal sheet of appropriate size, which is provided at least on its edges with at least two downward, matching shape and size conical lugs made of sheet metal.
• the metal sheet can have different wall thicknesses.
• the outer dimensions of the pallet can be chosen as desired.
• the conical lugs which can be designed, for example, as a hollow pyramid, allow the individual pallets to interlock, so that, depending on the weight and the size of the loads to be transported, any number of pallets can be arranged above and next to one another, the conical lugs fix the position of the individual pallets to each other exactly and do not allow the individual pallets to be moved.
• the height of the conical lugs can be chosen so that it corresponds to the standard height for forklift loading.
• the favorable stacking option of the pallet according to the invention is particularly evident when it is transported back.
• the height of a stack does not - as with the known pallets - correspond to the sum of the individual heights of the stacked pallets, but to the sum of the individual heights of the first pallet and the wall thicknesses of all other pallets.
• a very large number of the pallets according to the invention can therefore be stacked with the smallest space requirement.
• the conical approaches are designed as a hollow cone. Hollow cones are very easy to manufacture and very stable.
• the conical approaches are produced in the simplest manner by pressing, deep drawing, or the like.
• the conical approaches are provided with an opening on their underside.
• These openings can be formed, for example, in that the metal sheet forming the pallet before the pressing, deep drawing or the like of the conical Approaches at the point in question is provided with small holes.
• their underside can be provided with bores. 5
• sheet metal strips are attached to the underside of the conical lugs, the width of which is slightly greater than the width or the diameter of the conical lugs 10 and the length of which corresponds to the entire length or the entire width of the pallet.
• the distance from each other corresponds to the distance of the conical lugs on the metal sheet forming the pallet, and which are dimensioned such that they engage in the openings provided on the underside of the conical lugs.
• the projections provided on the top of the sheet metal strips are also expediently produced by pressing, deep-drawing or the like.
• the fastening of the sheet metal strip to the pallet can be further improved in that the outer dimension of the projections is slightly larger than the inner dimension of the openings in the conical projections and that the projections are curved slightly outwards. This results in a kind of push button system.
• the metal sheet forming the pallet is provided with depressions directed downwards, such as beads or the like.
• a particularly high torsional rigidity results from the fact that the impressions have an elongated shape and are arranged in such a way that they run in different directions, predominantly transversely to the sheet metal strips.
• the impressions are star-shaped.
• the pallet according to the invention can also be improved in that two opposite edges of the pallet are provided with wedge-shaped attachments.
• the pallet is also suitable for transporting round objects such as coils, drums, rollers and the like. Like., Ge ⁇ suitable.
• the wedge-shaped attachments can be firmly or releasably connected to the metal sheet forming the pallet, a releasable connection being preferred.
• a releasable connection can be brought about in a simple manner in that the wedge-shaped attachments are provided on their underside with conical attachments which correspond in shape and size to the conical attachments of the metal sheet forming the pallet, so that the connection is provided by inserting the provided on the wedge-shaped attachments conical approaches in the conical approaches of the metal sheet forming the pallet can be brought about.
• the wedge-shaped attachments are particularly good and space-saving stackable that they are made of sheet metal and have the shape of a trapezoid in their side view.
• a further improvement of the pallet according to the invention is achieved in that rods are inserted into the conical projections designed as hollow cones or as a hollow pyramid, the upper ends of which engage in the openings provided in the conical projections of a further pallet located above, the rods expediently by Tubes are formed.
• This configuration allows several of the pallets according to the invention to be arranged one above the other. This can be done both for transport, but also for preparatory stacking for later faster loading. However, a high rack suitable for long-term use can also be formed.
• the pallet according to the invention is fully recyclable, since it consists of a metallic material.
• the recycling of the pallet according to the invention is favored in that all parts of the pallet consist of steel.
• Figure 1 shows a pallet in front view.
• Fig. 2 shows the pallet of Figure 1 in plan view.
• Figure 3 is a top view of the top half of another pallet
• FIG. 5 shows a section of another pallet in cross section, also on a larger scale
• FIG. 8 shows a plan view of a top view of two pallets connected to one another and connected to one another, in a schematic illustration
• 9 shows a plan view of three pallets which are connected to one another and are connected to one another, in a top view, likewise in a schematic illustration.
• the pallet shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is formed by a metal sheet 1 which is provided with conical projections 2 pointing downwards.
• a sheet metal strip 4 is attached to the underside of the conical lugs 2.
• the metal sheet 1 is provided with downward impressions 6 which have an elongated shape. The impressions 6 extend over the entire surface of the metal sheet 1.
• the metal sheet 1 is provided with star-shaped impressions 6, which likewise extend over the entire surface of the metal sheet 1.
• FIG. 4 shows a pallet in which the conical lugs 2 provided on the metal sheet 1 have openings 3 and in which 4 projections 5 are provided on the top of the metal strips, which engage in the openings 3 of the conical lugs 2.
• the conical projections 2 provided on the metal sheet 1 also have openings 3 and projections 5 are also provided on the top of the sheet metal strips 4.
• the outer dimension of the projections 5 is slightly larger than the inner dimension of the openings 3 in the conical projections 2.
• the projections 5 are slightly curved outwards.
• the pallet shown in Fig. 6 has wedge-shaped attachments 7, which are provided with conical lugs 8 are.
• the Kenyan lugs 8 engage in the conical lugs 2 provided on the metal sheet 1.
• the wedge-shaped attachments 7 enable the transport of round objects; such a round object 10 is indicated by dash-dotted lines.
• the pallet according to the invention can be used to form a pallet of any size, so that the pallet can be used to transport objects of any size.
